Mr. Somchai Lertsutiwong, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Info Service Public Limited Company or AIS, said, “It has been AIS desire to utilize our 25-year expertise

in digital infrastructure and telecommunication to support and strengthen Thailand economy through Digital for Thais – an AIS vision. Human development is an essential driving force in preparing our country to be competitive and sustainable as we go through the age of digital disruption.”

Service remains in high demand in every industry. AIS Contact Center Development & Training Arena represents our determination to co-develop “human resource” to meet the increasing demand and the economic growth in Nakorn Ratchasima as well as Northeastern region. Furthermore, AIS-CCD&TA will function as a knowledge center, bringing cumulative knowledge from AIS call center in Bangkok to this region, creating equality and providing job opportunities for Isaan-born students to return to work in their homelands. I believe these offerings will accelerate the spreading of knowledge throughout the Northeastern region, creating high-quality workers to help improve the quality of their communities they live in.”

Mr. Somchai explained that he chose Nakorn Ratchasima because its GDP exceeds 265 billion baht (approx. eight billion USD), the largest economy in the Northeastern region. Currently, Thai government is making G2G large-scaled investments in transportation infrastructure including motorway and double-track railway, while the private sector is getting ready to launch a variety of branded department stores. Such phenomenon will definitely increase the employment in customer service. With large universities in nearby provinces, graduates will have a better chance of finding a job here in Nakorn Ratchasima. AIS-CCD&TA definitely comes to the right place and at the right time to help serve the market demand in call-center personnel. It will also provide valuable knowledge and enhance work competency for residents of Nakorn Ratchasima and the Northeastern region, making the province ready to become a new metropolitan in transportation and logistics for Asian Economy Community (AEC).

AIS Contact Center Development & Training Arena began its construction in 2013.

It consists of five zones:

Zone 1: AIS Development & Training Center Arena for customer service – the first and largest facility of its kind in the Northeastern region, can facilitate as many as 500 trainees per day. Its facility includes lecture room, auditorium, and workshop totaling 19 rooms with on-the-job training programs.

Zone 2: AIS Work Space. New gens especially high-school and university students will enjoy AIS Work Space with over 1,000 titles of state-of-the-art technology books, internet access from AIS Super WiFi at 650 Mbps speed, and use of meeting room.

“AIS is delighted to be a part of Northeastern community contributive to better quality of living of locals, AIS staff, and related personnel. We are honored to co-develop economy provincially and nationally, leading to sustainable growth,” Mr. Somchai concluded.
